Overlooked on release in 1982 when Punk became Funk, Essential Logic creator and X-Ray Spex co-founder Lora Logic's debut solo album retains her signature bouncing sax lines and vocal acrobatics but weaves an esoteric web of mutant disco, jazz and the very left-field of pop which sounds uncannily like now. Featuring the abstract swing of This Heat legend Charles Hayward on drums and clipped funk guitars from Phil Legg, songs like \"Wonderful Offer\" and \"Brute Fury\" share a DNA with New York noise merchants like Bush Tetras and James Chance but also Talking Heads with its sideways take on world music, the playful experimental innocence of contemporaries The Raincoats and the zesty funk of A Certain Ratio. Indeed, this punk-funk can be found in the latter generations of The Rapture, Franz Ferdinand (who owe a debt to \"Wonderful Offer\" specifically) and all the way up to The Orielles, while the album's stridently unconventional and fearless sonic palette has retained its freshness for modern times. This deluxe edition adds contemporaneous b-sides along with an extended \"Wonderful Offer\" plus a previously unreleased \"Peel Session\" from 1981 featuring radically different, clean and shiny versions of \"Martian Man\", \"Pedigree Charm\" and \"Rat Alley” highlighting Logic's ever-evolving, restless style.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hiss and Shake Records","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50408996274507,"sku":"2181345","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Lora_Logic__Pedigree_Charm_Deluxe_Edition_7c2e323b_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726609372"},{"product_id":"land-of-kali","title":"Land of Kali","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Land of Kali\u003c\/i\u003e (co-produced by Youth), is the first new Essential Logic studio album in 43 years, and features the new single ‘Prayer for Peace’, a re-imagining of the X-Ray Spex track from the tragically overlooked album, \u003ci\u003eConscious Consumer\u003c\/i\u003e (1995) on which Lora also played sax. “Poly Styrene and I were living in a Krishna community in Worcestershire in the early 80s.

Her offbeat, occasionally arresting lyrics tackled alienation, sexism, poverty and urban isolation, and with a complete disregard for convention, she carved her own path not only in her short-lived music career but also personal life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe was still in her teens when she answered an ad in Melody Maker “Looking for young punks,” and in 1976, with her friend Marion Elliot (aka Poly Styrene), she formed the punk band X-Ray Spex and acquired the pseudonym, Lora Logic. The duo soon achieved notoriety with the irresistible feminist protest single, ‘Oh Bondage Up Yours’ (1977) – Logic arguably stealing the show with her thrilling punk sax. “X-Ray Spex was my first band, I happened to be accepted, It happened to work, I happened to get famous overnight. I’d been playing sax in a cupboard in my room; I thought I better do something.” However, just prior to recording\u003ci\u003e Germ Free Adolescents\u003c\/i\u003e (1978), X-Ray Spex's debut album, she found herself unexpectedly ousted from the band. With abundant enthusiasm and encouragement from Geoff Travis, founding director of Rough Trade Records, she went on to form Essential Logic, creating some of the most liberating and exciting music of the early post-punk era, not only as Essential Logic, but also as a solo artist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHiss and Shake Records are pleased to present a limited edition boxset of 50 essential recordings from the irresistibly engaging Lora Logic archive, allowing for a new generation to become aware of her incredible creative output.
